Boost
Sometimes we imagine a boost as something big —
a promotion,
a breakthrough,
a sudden burst of luck.
But life rarely works like a rocket launch.
Most boosts are small.
A daughter handing you a towel while you mop muddy water.
A quiet laugh after a long day of chaos.
A warm cup of coffee when the house finally becomes still again.
Even the sky gives boosts.
Rain nourishes the earth, even when it floods the house first.
Grass grows greener than we have seen in fifteen years here on Fuerteventura.
Mountains that were dusty brown suddenly glow with life.
Nature knows something we often forget.
A storm can also be a boost.
It pushes roots deeper.
It washes away what was stuck.
It reminds us we are stronger than we thought.
Sometimes a boost is not something that lifts us easily.
Sometimes it is something that challenges us —
until we discover we can stand higher than before.
